Find any restrictions on x

Mathematics
1 answer:
olchik [2.2K]3 years ago

The denominator of any fraction cannot be equal to zero. This is because if the denominator is equal to zero, the, the fraction itself would be "undefined".

Applying this to the above mentioned problem, we will find two denominators including the term "x". These two denominators cannot be equal to zero.

First fraction:
1/x ..................> x cannot be equal to zero

Second fraction:
1/(x^2 - 3x -4) = 1/(x - 4)(x + 1)
The denomination will be equal to zero if x = 4 or x = -1
........> x cannot be equal to 4 or -1

Based on this, the restrictions on x are as follows:
x cannot be equal to 0,4 or -1

The range of the function y=secx-2 is all reals except<br><br> -1 1 -3 -2
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

For a function y = f(x), the range is the set of all the possible values of y.

In the question you wrote:

y = secx - 2

This can be interpreted as:

y = sec(x - 2)

or

y = sec(x) - 2

So let's see each case (these are kinda the same)

If the function is:

y = sec(x - 2)

Firs remember that:

sec(x) = 1/cos(x)

then we can rewrite:

y = 1/cos(x - 2)

notice that the function cos(x) has the range -1 ≤ y ≤ 1

Then for the two extremes we have:

y = 1/1 = 1

y = 1/-1 = -1

Notice that for:

y = 1/cos(x - 2)

y can never be in the range  -1 < x < 1

As the denominator cant be larger, in absolute value, than 1.

Then we can conclude that the range is all reals except the interval:

-1 < y < 1

If instead the function was:

y = sec(x) - 2

y = 1/cos(x) - 2

Then with the same reasoning, the range will be the set of all real values except:

-1 - 2 < y < 1 - 2

-3 < y < -1

There are 365 days in a common year how many comman days in 3 common year
kari74 [83]
I guess you just have to multiply 365 x 3. Since there is 365 days in one year, just add it two more times to see how many days in all. So the answer should be 1,095.
